Sure, UA has some decent seats to rot in until upgrade, but being the boss has other benefits as well.

Hookers and Crack being number one

2nd yr FO pay at UAL is more than I make on 10 yr RJ CA pay. I'd be fine sitting as FO for awhile with a good schedule vs commuting to reserve as a CA and making more.
